The International MG Y Type Register is pleased to announce that, in conjunction with John James' TTypes.org, it has 'teamed up' with Travel Destinations (ABTA Registered) and negotiated preferential travel rates for International MG Y Type Register members. If you are planning to travel to or from Mainland Europe (including Spain) using P&O, the Channel Tunnel or Brittany Ferries (including Spain) then please contact Travel Destinations on +44 (0) 1707 329988 and be certain to mention that you are a member of the International MG Y Type Register to obtain your Preferential Rates. These are not only available to you when you are in your MG Y Type, but when travelling in any MG or indeed your normal daily
use car. David Pelham, our Public Relations Officer said "Travel Destinations were able to assist with the passage of our cars to/from Brittany on the forthcoming Tour in September 2012. I was pleasantly surprised that my fellow participants and I saved almost 30% by booking through Travel Destinations. The saving that we achieved is equivalent to more than a tank full of petrol for each of the participants." The arrangements will not only benefit International MG Y Type Register members in the UK but also in France, Holland, Germany, Switzerland, etc travelling to the UK. Paul Barrow, our Webmaster and Registrar said: "The International MG Y Type Register derive no benefit from this arrangement other than the satisfaction of knowing we have been able to secure a benefit for members. This benefit is available to you with zero Membership Subscription or Fees reflecting our true 'Run by Enthusiasts for Enthusiasts' approach, which cannot be matched by those clubs specifically catering for our cars and making similar claims."

David Pelham has informed us that all 12 places on the 'Y Type Tour of Brittany'(see 4 February 2012 news)are now taken and he is regretfully unable to accept any more entries.
